mikebaker1129 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Good News! I just wanted to let everyone in the BM59 community know that there are now available Gas cylinders available for the BM62/69 or your BM59 if you want to do away with the Flip Up grenade launcher site. Check out standard www.standardpartsllc.com I will report back in a couple days when mine arrives and give a evaluation on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebaker1129 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Mike I cant wait to hear. Lets hear a little bit about that maker as well. JR I did receive mine from the first production run and it fits and functions great. It is tight which is good, I have not fired it but a brief hand cycling I have to give it a thumbs up. The BM62 gas cylinder is made by Standard Parts LLC,right here in the USA. Some other good news is this G/C is cut for the bipod like some of the BM69's. The part no. 59-0001. Retail price will be around $119 ea Other upcoming news is the production of BM62/69 muzzle guard with the "E" model port holes which makes a very effective break yet at the same time keeps the short overall length.Great for guys like me that want the shorter rifle. When you add the standard break,you add 5-7 " of length,which to me defeats the appeal of the shorter more handy Tanker type rifle. If all goes well the breaks should be out in 60 to 90 days. John, I suspect the break will look almost identical to the one you had made by your machinist friend. I think we should applaud Standard parts for bringing these parts to market for us. Lets face it,no one is making anything for the BM59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ryan Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) That is good news. I think I would like to try one of those Gas cyls. Do you know details of the materials and finish? JR Edited April 17, 2011 by John Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
